Olimar Support [Pikmen]

[chrisdude25]

u kno kirby might not be able to copy olimar... kirby only gets their basic B move, so will he only b able top pick pikmin?

 

[Collective of Bears]

Well can't get everything right. ;p I still prefer my B^ since it's more true to the game and all, but I guess having a pikmin tether chain is unique enough a replacement for my liking.

You thought is was going to be the Dolphin, correct?

 

[Machspeed]

By the way, which is everyone's favorite alt costume? I think the red & black looks pretty awesome, myself.

I love the red & black alt costume too. (GO BULLDOGS!) *ahem*

Hmm, hopefully Olimar will be playable at that Japanese demo before release so we can get some footage of him in action? His physics and moves are awesome, and I'd like to see some of it in motion.

 

[chrisdude25]

Here's my take on Olimar's FS:

The Pikmin Armor
Olimar puts his hand on the ground and leaps up. He pulld out an endless wave of Pikmin that scatter around the stage (does damage). Then, they surround Olimar and turn him into a giant... Thingy made of Pikmin! Then, you can walk around and attack people. Every time you attack, Pikmin fall off. The attack ends when you run out of Pikmin.

i like this idea alot..... but maybe into a giant olimar? Bulbax? other pikmin enemy?

I was trying to get at giant Olimar, but I didn't really know how to put it into words

How did you get a picture on there?

My little secret

ARGH! Aw man.

Hmm, well.. from what we've seen so far I'm going to be using the original Olimar. But besides that costume, I was thinking the Yellow alternate looked pretty cool.

Hey, do you guys think Bulbmin will make an appearance? Much like Peach's rarer plucks, the bulbmin were parasitic pikmin that infected (dwarf?)bulborbs that only appeared underground. Though it was strange to have the predators on your side, they had none of the weaknesses of regular pikmin(they could all swim, go through fire, etc.)

you can't go wrong with the original, the yellow one looks like a bee suit

 

[Camera_Guy]

I wonder if Olimar's hair turns yellow during his blue costume. They did change his antenna blue.

 

[assassinX105]

hey what is your guys favorite pikmin, mine is the white pikmin (they're evil, look at those eyes)

I really don't think it will. Sakurai described there will be five types of Pikmin Olimar could pluck out. Now I know they're not actually Pikmin but he stressed the number five.

Thats a GREAT idea!

Although it might make him too overpowered, since your probably going to be picking pikmin pretty often.

I'm not sure if this makes any difference but he said "5 colors of Pikmin in tow"

i could not remember what these things were called but i was thinking the same thing earlier today. the bulbmin would have to be stronger than red/blue/yellow pikmin but faster and weaker than purple.

 

[Vali]

You thought is was going to be the Dolphin, correct?

I would've liked it to be, would've come wooshing out of nowhere with the Onions and transport any falling pikmin and Olimar upwards before the Dolphin explodes into a few random parts. Seemed to make sense to me, but on reflection it would probably further mess up the scale of things having a mini-Dolphin and mini-Onions come along since there'd be no way they could be full size. Perhaps they're saving the Dolphin for the final smash attack, considering that it did have some sort of powerful attack ray that was never used in the game but was one of the collectable parts I remember. Hopefully his final smash will be revealed next week, but until then it's always fun to speculate .

Oh and definitely silver for the alt costume.

 

[Mattnumbers]

I was re looking over the update and I figured some things out.
First of all if you look at the picture that just shows him walking with 6 pikmin behind him, you can see that the ones he picked first are flowers and that the ones at the end are buds and leaves. This could prove that they gradually get better the longer that they are alive.

Second, what is the stage in the alt costume picture? Skyworld has a different background and the SSE doesn't support four players.

I agree with that, I definitely think the Dolphin will be and would be the best final smash for Olimar, using some ray or even making a crash landing on your enemies. Well, unless they were to impliment a Power Ranger's Megazord type suit for Olimar made of Pikmin, that's the best thing I can think of!

Is that silver? I thought it was bluish, excuse me though I'm slightly color-deficient.

That doesn't really prove anything. First of all, order can be switched with the Pikmin and they're seen in other screen shots with flowers in the back and leaves in the front. Also, it could mean they are longer surviving, yes, but they also could have obtained some sort of item of nectar to give them their flowers. We can't really tell as of now but it is definitely a possiblilty.

Second, what is the stage in the alt costume picture? Skyworld has a different background and the SSE doesn't support four players.

That is Skyworld, it is simply the lower platform of it. Look closer and you'll see the columns match up and the pool in the background is there.

Here are some icons I made if anyone wishes to use them:

EDIT: And I'll be sticking with traditonal Olimar, but if I had to pick, I'd say the Silver one.

 

[Vali]

Looks pretty silvery to me but it's definitely his blue costume with the blue light on the antenna, so it's probably silvery blue or bluey silver and neither (or both) of us are right. It's still the best, whatever it is ^^.

What do you guys think would happen if you threw a pikmin at fox and he uses his shine?the purple one would probably bounce but what about the others? Also Kirby has the potential to be a pikmin killing machine if he can swallow more than one at the same time.

I'm guessing they'll just be reflected unless they've already taken subtantial damage, in which, I guess they just die.

 

[Goat12000]

I wonder if the pikmin can do a bubble shield?

If thrown, I think they will bounce off. If they attack him though, I think the shine will be useless. That's my theory.

 

[brawler12]

Vali is back hooray. Do you remember me?? I prefer the sillver costume blue has always been my fav color. I think I posted a somewhat detailed description of the pikminzord a few threads back. Vali you should really sue then again you didn't have a patent on it oh well.

No.

At first I didn't think I would like Olimar very much, but after I saw his unique style of Brawling. I beleive he'll be a more used character even though Sonic will be my most played as character. So, Ilike Olimar in Brawl more than I thought.

Well, I knew he was going to be unique, but he actually came off better than expected for me. OLIMAR FTTT!

 

[L_Cancel]

Olimar's Pikmin Plucking move (neutral B move) looks like it will actually be pretty quick from the screenshot! The Red and white pikmin are still in the air from being plucked while Olimar is plucking the blue one. Which is good, since his moveset relies on them so heavily.

yeah I noticed that too. Do you guys think that purple pikmin will be rare on every terrain? they sound better then the others.

I'd assume that White and Purple will be overall raret than RBY.

 

[Qbuilderz]

i tihkn they would all have even chances, but i am still hoping you will get REALLY lucky and pop out a bulbmin...

But you never really pluck Bulbmin, you just find them.

 

[L_Cancel]

Hmmm... I'm not sure. I'm thinking that maybe their slow speed will even out their power (like Ike). They also aren't resistant to anything (Ex: Red resistant to fire, and Yellow resistant to electricity). So I'm thinking they probably will still have a terrain that they are more common on.

 

[Camera_Guy]

You know, The Dojo didn't say Yellow are immune to electricity, and Blue are immune to water.
I hope they still are.

 

[Qbuilderz]

in brawl though sakurai never stated the yellow were resistant to electricity. he said that there attacks are IMBUED (To permeate or saturate) with electricity, which i assume is like when they hit, the give out a zap XD.. also that means pikachu is attackless against olimar with all yellow pikmin XD

DAM*! beaten to it AGAIN!

 

[Collective of Bears]

You know, The Dojo didn't say Yellow are immune to electricity, and Blue are immune to water.

I'm guessing they are. Think about it:

Yellowy: Hahaha!!! I shall zap you with my ultimate electric prowess!
Pikachu: *uses Thundershock*
Yellowy: *dies*

It doesn't seem right.

 

[L_Cancel]

Oh man.... You're right... My bad... I do hope the immunities are still in but at least they have advantages of some kind.
